On a crowded street or from a passing car
 
 i can see the world from where i am 
 
 people stand in line so they can buy their things
 
 they buy a vegetable or a can
 
  
  C--i taste the water and the water tastes hot
 
 i taste the water and the water tastes hot
 
 hands of love, they keep on slipping
 
 hands of love, they keep on gripping
  
 
 my home, it might as well just be a cave
 
 and the ones next door don't talk to me
 
 and when i'm lying in bed at night i hear the sounds
 
 of the sirens and the dogs and the people screaming--C
  
 
 i taste the water and the water tastes hot
 
 i taste the water and the water tastes hot
 
 whistle down the...whistle down the road
 
 (hands of love, they keep on slipping)
 
 whistle down the...whistle down the road
 
 (hands of love, they keep on gripping)
 
 whistle down the...whistle down the road
 
 (hands of love, they keep on slipping)
  
 
 hands of love
